Vegas - the Top Golf experience in photos.

Sorry I'm a little behind, so much to do & see here, the days just fly by. I also have very limited Forum Access due to geo restrictions on Sky Poker in the USA, so I can only get on the Forum sporadically.

Here's a bunch of photos from the Top Golf night.

The Top Golf facility is magnificent, sort of in the back garden of the MGM Grand, just off the Strip.

What a place it is. Several swimming pools, huge TV screens showing live sports, bars, restaurants & all sorts.

Here's @MISTY4ME doing some coaching, with a backdrop of the Las Vegas skyline.

@Sky_SamT has a lovely golf swing, & can hit a ball a very long way. In all sort of directions except straight.

I don;t mean to be rude, or personal, but look at the state of @Donttelmum. You'd think he'd at least make an effort to look respectable.

Here he is again with @TimmyRaRa

This is Marta, who is @Wacko90's young lady. She works in the fashion industry in London. (She's the one on the right as we look).

That's @pompeynic on the left. He had an absolute blast all trip & had an early cash in a little event at The Orleans.

The Gent in the middle with the beard was a guest of one of the qualifiers. His Dad is a VERY famous footballer who played in the Premier League & for England, though is now retired. Name his Dad.

Here's @Sky_SamT, apparently trying to squeeze some wind out silently, with Groggs, DTM, Wacko & Marta.

No expense was spared. We had the best two "deluxe" bays, our own private suite, free drink & food, the lot. Well played Sky Poker.

SPT Las Vegas champion @GSmith13 explainng to @FeelGroggy the basics of poker.

The next set of photos - tomorrow hopefully - will show a modicum of misbehaviour by many of the boys. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? No chance. Sorry lads.

GREAT finishing position..... pity about some (not all) of what goes before it

Thanks so so much to SKY and all theTeam, and all the background peeps for such a FANTASTIC Trip and Tourney in Vegas. Everything about it was just amazing, and I know I will never stay in a Hotel room as good as The Palazzo ever again. Nice to see how the 'Other Half' live

.....really want to know who Beardy's Dad is .... I didn't get chance to speak to him that much

I was otherwise engaged (*cough* punting money in cash games *cough*) so didn't make it to Top Golf but I'm enjoying catching up via the blog. Looks like I missed out. I had a great trip (although my abstinence from alcohol meant I didn't get as much rakeback as some of the others might have ). Really enjoyed meeting my fellow players and the Sky team. Cheers for a great week!

Also very curious about the lad with the beard's Dad. Had a few chats with him and he was a good lad and good poker player by the sounds of it. As a Scotsman I try to blank out the existence of the English football team from my consciousness though, so not in the best position to guess who
